Man arrested after threatening ex

A Great Falls man was arrested Monday evening after allegedly threatening his ex-girlfriend with a knife.

Lance Doney, 22, faces a felony assault with a weapon charge in Cascade County District Court.

According to charging documents, police were called to a Chowen Springs Loop residence shortly before 9 p.m. Monday. Doney’s ex-girlfriend reported that he had threatened to stab her with a knife and then tried to stab himself in the leg, documents say.

The woman reportedly told officers that Doney had arrived at her home, where her daughter was sleeping,and pushed his way inside before grabbing her to keep her from leaving.

When she ran out the back door, the intoxicated Doney allegedly took a knife from her knife drawer, caught her outside and put the knife to her throat before turning it on himself.

Prosecutors have asked that Doney, set to make an initial court appearance Tuesday afternoon, be held on $10,000 bail.
